Hello Nayab,
As part of our efforts to protect the integrity and value of the NetApp certification, the NetApp Certification Program (NCP) implemented Provisional Exam Scoring for all proctored exams effective May 1, 2015.
This means that candidates who achieve a passing score receive a ‘Provisional Exam Score Report’ after completing their NCP exam at a Pearson VUE test center. Note that the score included on this report is not final. NetApp then performs industry standard statistical analyses on all exam results to ensure compliance with the NetApp Certification Program Candidate Agreement and NCP exam security policies.
After the results have been analyzed
- Exam results that are determined valid are available in CertCenter within 72 hours of exam delivery.
- Exam results that are identified as aberrant and outside an acceptable statistical range are invalidated due to NetApp’s inability to prove with certainty that the candidate has demonstrated valid measures of their ability as sampled by the exam. The candidate is notified via email of exam retake options, if applicable.
Please let me know if you have any additional questions.
